I'd love to come, but september weekends are pretty much filled in for saturdays (with sunday's not much better). I think the last 2 sundays of september are the only times I could make it out there.

If I go, I better have a Ratikal time, if you catch my drift.

While either day will work, 20th would be better for me as I have the day completely free rather than getting out at 1:20.

Any updates on when this might be rescheduled? You think November or December might be good?

Yeah, the super neo is fixed! Let me put my feelers out and see if any weekends are best for guests of honor (K-2, Ratikal, ECZangief..??)

If anyone wants to suggest a particular weekend date, feel free (saturdays are usually best).

It's the winter season for me so my weekends have magically freed up. This Saturday wouldn't work for me, but next weekend, or the one after I could. I've got a one slot mobo to bring for the Super Neo along with a few other boards 8)

I'm down to come out and my weekends are usually free but let me know in advance por favor. Also Ratikal we have some shmup players at the fighting game nights on Fri at Game Underground, maybe we can work something out.

Really? Do you think I'D be able to snag one of those CRTs and TATE them if I brought my setup?

I would really like to meet up one way or the other.

Also, pretty much any weekend is good after this one.

Ratikal, my spare CRTs or ones at game underground? You can have several of mine :lol:

Nov 15 or 22 are looking like possibilities.

Count me interested. Located in Cambridge way on the other side of the state, so I'd have to carpool with someone to get over there.
All I could really bring is stuff that wouldn't be needed unless we really wanted a spare JP360 or something.
I know not what a 1cc is.

Yeah for sure. I could bring my 14'' PVM worst case.

Okay, I may be up at GU this Friday. I'll bring my JTAG and we can just play whatever.

Can you do next week? If I get the word out we can probably have a few different setups, and I'm also busy tomorrow night.

Unless terrible things happen (such as my ride's schedule mismatching mine again), I should be able to make it to GU next Friday. Usually get there around 7 or so to be bad at fighting games and mash on IIDX. I could bring a NTSC-J 360, some 360 games, and a spare stick if we need em. Just let me know.

Yeah, I can do next week. Should I bother coming tonight though? It's not a big deal for me since its a 15 minute walk from my dorm.

I won't be there, but I know at least one person who will play some shmups with you. Get there around 6-7ish and set up early and people will probably try them out.

So, I'll definitely be down this Friday. I have two 360s, one of them a JTAG and the other NTSC-U. On the JTAG, I was thinking about running Dodonpachi Daioujou and on the NSTC-U, I'll just play whatever people want. The only problem is that I only have one pad. Could we borrow a stick for the 360 for one of my setups?

I'm pretty hyped, and I hope this goes well.

I have two 360 sticks I bring. The one that I would leave on the setup has Sanwa buttons but a knockoff stick. I have a fully Sanwa'd Hori stick but I'll probably be using it for Street Fighter. I could also bring Dreamcast/PS2 and some shmups for those too, and I have a few boards I could run on the supergun.

So unfortunately, there will be a change of plans. I will not be able to come down to GU tonight. I'm leaving for New York early today to go see Perfume tomorrow. Sorry guys, maybe next week.

Never heard them before, have fun! I’m getting over a cold and might also be better off hosting a different weekend.
The 22nd a good day for anyone?
